On a NW-facing slope in undulating grassland. Poorly preserved rectangular enclosure (30.5m N-S; 25m E-W) defined by an earthen bank and external fosse. The bank is present from N through E to S; elsewhere a scarp forms the enclosing element. The fosse is visible from N to E. There is a causewayed entrance gap (Wth 2.6m) at NE.
